Vikings Make Cuts To Reach 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 8:25pm CST by Ely Allen

Most of the Vikings’ roster moves were done ahead of the deadline, but today they did the rest of the work to get down to the 53-man roster. Here are the moves made today to reach the deadline:

Waived:

OL Alan Adi
WR Jacob Copeland
RB Aaron Dykes
WR Lucky Jackson
WR Trishton Jackson
RB DeWayne McBride
DL Esezi Otomewo
WR Blake Proehl
TE Ben Sims
DL T.J. Smith
OL Jack Snyder
WR Thayer Thomas
OLB Luiji Vilain
OLB Benton Whitley
CB Jaylin Williams

Waived/injured:

LB Abraham Beauplan

Released:

LB Troy Reeder
CB Joejuan Williams

A strong preseason performance by backup running back Ty Chandler and the returning prowess of Kene Nwangwu led to the disappointing cut of the seventh-round pick McBride. Besides that, there weren’t many surprises on the offensive side of the ball as the Vikings continually value consistency on the offensive line.

Minnesota needed to work out how to replace the production lost in the departure of pass rusher Za’Darius Smith. The opportunity led to a nice surprise as undrafted rookie Andre Carter II makes the initial 53. Carter is joined on the defensive side by undrafted linebacker Ivan Pace, who got plenty of run in camp as Brian Asamoah recovered from injury. Safety NaJee Thompson is the last undrafted rookie to find his way onto the roster thanks to his contributions on special teams.

NFL Reserve/Futures Deals: 1/16/23

January 16th, 2023 at 8:30pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s reserve/futures deals:

Baltimore Ravens

WR Shemar Bridges, DB BoPete Keyes, LB Jeremiah Moon, DT Rayshad Nichols, G John Simpson, WR Mike Thomas

Miami Dolphins

Minnesota Vikings

Vikings Move Down To 53

August 30th, 2022 at 11:11pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here is how the Vikings finalized their initial 53-man roster Tuesday:

Released:

Waived:

S Mike Brown
WR Dan Chisena
TE Zach Davidson
G Wyatt Davis
S Myles Dorn
G Kyle Hinton
WR Trishton Jackson
RB Bryant Kobeck
LB William Kwenkeu
LB Blake Lynch
LB Zach McCloud
QB Kellen Mond (story)
TE Nick Muse
LB Janarius Robinson
DL T.J. Smith
C Josh Sokol
DL Jalen Twyman
DL Armon Watts

Waived/injured:

DL Jullian Taylor

Beyond the previously covered quarterback situation, the Watts departure is Minnesota’s most notable cut. The 2019 sixth-round pick started nine games last season, moving into the lineup after Michael Pierce‘s injury. The Vikings cut Pierce this offseason, though Watts did not profile as a pure nose tackle. He was also drafted to play in a different scheme.

Minnesota hired a new DC this offseason (Ed Donatell), and the team acquired former Texans second-round defensive tackle pick Ross Blacklock on Tuesday. The Vikes had also added veteran Jonathan Bullard this offseason. These moves appear to have affected Watts’ status, as does the Vikings keeping only six D-linemen. They retained 10 after 2021’s cutdown day. Some of the changes can be attributed to classification, with edge defenders classified as outside linebackers in 3-4 sets. Watts also carried a $2.5MM cap charge, allowing Minnesota to save some decent money.

The Davis cut represents a quick bailout on a 2021 third-round pick. One of two guard Davises the Vikes shipped out Tuesday (along with Jesse, whom they traded to the Steelers), Wyatt — an Ohio State alum — played in six games last season and did not log an offensive snap. In addition to drafting Ed Ingram in the second round this year, the Vikings signed veteran interior linemen Chris Reed and Austin Schlottmann.

Rams Sign 20 UDFAs

April 25th, 2020 at 10:13pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Rams announced their undrafted free agent class Saturday night, and it’s a big one.

DL Eric Banks (UT San Antonio)
OL Cohl Cabral (Arizona State)
WR Earnest Edwards (Maine)
RB James Gilbert (Kansas State)
DL Mike Hoecht (Brown)
DB JuJu Hughes (Fresno State)
WR Trishton Jackson (Syracuse)
RB Xavier Jones (SMU)
WR JJ Koski (Cal Poly)
CB Dayan Lake (BYU)
QB Josh Love (San Jose State)
CB Tyrique McGhee (Georgia)
QB Bryce Perkins (Virginia)
WR Brandon Polk (James Madison)
LB Greg Reaves (South Florida)
DL Sam Renner (Minnesota)
LB Christian Rozeboom (South Dakota)
CB Levonta Taylor (Florida State)
DL Jonah Williams (Weber State)
WR Easop Winston (Washington State)

The biggest name on the list is Perkins the former Virginia quarterback, and we wrote about his signing in more detail here. The Rams previously only had John Wolford on the roster behind Jared Goff, so it makes sense they signed Perkins as well as Love the former San Jose State passer.

Los Angeles signed five receivers, with three of them coming from the FCS level. After previously having a career-high of 143 yards Jackson exploded out of nowhere to put up 1,023 yards and 11 touchdowns with Syracuse last year. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein had him pegged as a fifth-rounder and most analysts had him getting drafted, so this could be a nice pickup for Sean McVay.
